[HTC Sensation] IncredibleSlover:
I flashed one off the kitchen, but I have 2.3.3 Gingerbread not 2.3.4 :P I will let you know if I get the same issue. If you want to cook another one up than that is good by me, this one might not work but we will see. So far the battery mod doesnt seem to be turning off my backlights. Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Oh, Ok... well, for 2.3.3, the mod is already up, a little bit farther down the page. It's called the same name, but without the "2.3.4" part.

Good luck with the kitchen mod, but if it doesn't work, you are always free to try the one I have up.

:)
[HTC Sensation] IncredibleSlover:
Ok no problem, and thanks for your effort :P I flashed the batt mod using only the framework file, maybe thats why it was doing that...we will see :P Will let you know later :)

P.S

I forgot to wipe, does that make a difference???
[HTC Sensation] amorek13:
how about large style with % for 2.3.4 please
[HTC Sensation] suwu10:
Here you go
[HTC Sensation] IncredibleSlover:
So the stupid batt mod took out my backlight buttons again!! I don't understand why I can't have a battery mod on my phone. It would really be nice to have the number showing of how much battery I have left. It was working fine all night and then today it went out ! Meh I might just forget it :(

Hello:

I do tech support to people sometimes when they asked me to (it's not my primary job, so I try to do it the less I can for another people than family).

So there is one person that has an iPhone 3GS. I've alredy hated apple before but when she started asking me things about it and I started to investigate this pone I hate it more!... So I was wondering if is there any way to actually flash this iPhone with Android 2.3.3 using all hardware features that the Iphone can offer and all software features that Android GB can offer?

If yes, how can I flash it?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] kafepuya:
I have no I dea, but I wish you success. That would be awsome!
[General Questions and Answers] gondronk:
i think it can't

[General Questions and Answers] speeed_demon47:
Yes,it's Very much possible,here's a guide video for 3GS\4G:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRtWI7CBiM0

Watch it till the end,cuz at first he demonstrates an emulator and after that he explains how to install android itself to boot,ther's a source at the description of the video,add it to Cydia sources before u start.

And a video guide for 2G\3G

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqYWJorGwqs

And here's the full written guide for 3G\2G:

http://everythingapplepro.net/?p=291

The above are for 2G\3G devices,I don't know if they'll work for 3GS,but it's worth a shot cuz it'll provide dual boot.That way u can run Android and still have IOS at the same time.

I don't know if the 3GS method will provide dual boot or not.

Please hit thanks if this post helps.
[General Questions and Answers] LCS2011:
Thanks I will try this one if she want. It would be nice to investigate doing it.

It would be great to make a widespread update to all iphones with this. So Apple will learno to make competitive and right market instead of killing other companies with stupid lawsuits made in the 90'sm when a cellphone could only make calls.
[General Questions and Answers] mrbennett:
Cool
[General Questions and Answers] ferarij:
It's very cool,I think this is a very good idea.
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
Yeah, I'm not entering my name anywhere. Thanks anyway, HTC. Besides, AlphaRev and Unrevoked already did your job for you.

[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
I figured they would want a way to know exactly which phones were unlocked. i'll stick with alpha revs method.

From my mikmikoptimized shooter!
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
wow. some actual clarity on what they plan to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
nice to see an update !

but for the evo3d is a bit late :P
[HTC EVO 3D] ktulu909:
Lmao,actually according to their explanation,their method sounds just like AlpharevX.It would be hilarious if alpharevX sold their method to HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
That blows. They couldn't just ship the damn thing unlocked.
[HTC EVO 3D] iliapiano:
Well, if he did I hope he didn't sell them the serial numbers of the ones already unlocked :-) jk
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I guess it all makes sense (har har).

If it makes the carriers happy, who cares if this is how they do it? I'm sure whenever they release a bootloader unlocker someone on XDA will take it and make it so you can do it without the email/key. We're gonna come out ahead either way.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Well i guess now they will know when we unlock our bootloader and warranty I don't care since I don't use the warranty anyways

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d :P
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I'd be curious to know from Google, Sprint and Samsung how many problems they have from the NexusS4G being very easily unlockable...I doubt it's very many...and HTC should suck on that.
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I don't know if that's as much of a fair comparison - with the Nexus being near stock I wouldn't expect them to be flashed/bricked nearly as much as with the Evo4G.

The OG Evo gained so much from flashing - features, kernels, whole new versions of sense. And it had so many updates over the life of the phone, making for different rooting methods and having people flash their phones many many times, making it one of if not the most developed phone we have seen.

I'm quite certain the brick count on those were some of the highest anyone's ever seen as well. That's after all the returns from dead pixels, bad charging ports, and what have you. You can understand a carrier/manufacturer's wishing to prevent all that.

By the same token, it feels like HTC benefits greatly from the development community, perhaps using a lot of what they see here in their own updates (maybe even waiting for people to fix their bugs). They definitely see value in unlocking phones, which I guess we should be happy about.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
As long as HTC keeps their unlocked policy I will remain a loyal customer.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Were there that many bricked E4G's? I don't recall hearing about that many of them in my tenure on the forum...admittedly I barely spent any time in General that year as Development was bustling from before day 1.

...but, per capita I doubt the brick-count was that far off the average for any other popular phone worth rooting. God knows I did horrible things to mine and never even had to fix it via adb/fastboot.... it was a very popular phone even among the average joe.

I know that HTC benefits greatly from the dev community. Where do you think they got the FPS-unlock from? Among other things. That's how open source works and is designed to work. That's also why myself and others were so shocked with the whole 'locking' fiasco.

...now, aside from our own speculation about how high the brick rate may or may not have been why not speculate about something more productive: How LOW the brick rate could be if they utilized eMMC's secure-write technology to make a 'mega-recovery' partition that would be locked and even WE wouldn't want to unlock it....that could be used in a worst case scenario to fully restore a phone to stock...to enable the unlocking that WE want and reduce the (understandable) liability of allowing full control that they want. We get unlock, they get insulation from liability of allowing such a feature (that most people STILL wouldn't know about or care about)....why don't they do that? eMMC makes that trivial to implement (as we found out the hard way)...neglecting the fact that they could have utilized any number of simpler technologies to accomplish the same thing even before eMMC...why not?

That's a topic for further speculation (get your tinfoil hats ready), but, why don't they do that? Play both sides of the field. No voided warranties, no brick returns, no pissed off modders....win win win, right? The carrier doesn't want that? Cool, let us know, we'll flock to the carrier that allows it...something tells me Sprint would be that underdog...
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Not at all like what AlphaRevX did. The only reason they had the serial number check was because it was in Beta so they could shut down their serial generator and stop people using their unlock if they found a problem with it.

This HTC method makes sense, and I think it's fair. Their tool only needs to hook up to your phone to get the device identifier token, the unlock actually happens on the phone itself. This way HTC gets a list of unlocked phones so when people go for support you can't lie to them that your phone was unlocked, but people can have day one unlocks on any phone from HTC going forward.
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
So now HTC wants to know who exactly is unlocking there phones??

Nice try you sneaky basterds
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
What's wrong with them knowing if you're unlocked? They have to do that... Otherwise insurance companies would get upset. This is legit and it if people screw their phones up due to user error while unlocked then they shouldn't be able to file a claim.

This also let's them see just how many people want to be unlocked so they don't try and take it away from us again
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
yeah....I dunno. They could (relatively) easily make the phones nearly brick-proof (see my above post) yet they do not. Why? I'm almost irritated by all of the altruistic sentiment for 'doing the right thing'....not because of the altruism, I actually find that refreshing and endearing. It's more because they could take steps to nearly eliminate the potential for bricking (and in doing so insulate the insurance company from liability...making that a moot point), but that people are defending a position that needn't exist.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
+1000000000
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
Haha, sounds exactly how alpharev did it...hmm, maybe they tore it out of alpharevs hands, i dont know, sounds fishy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
You don't know why they're doing it. Maybe they wanna track the people that abuse the crap out of wireless tether... Maybe it's for other reasons. Who cares, they are unlocking it for us and that's all that matters. I have nothing to hide when I root so I care less. If you're upset about it then there are other options.

People are getting exactly what they wanted and they still find a reason to cry... Get over it already
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Oh you mean the ones who designed and created the software can't unlock themselves? Come on now...

This is a fair way to do it that protects insurance companies and carriers. Only ones unhappy are the people who apparently do a lot of shady things when they root
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I'm not crying over it. I'm either suspicious or confused regarding their intentions. It's hard to tell which.

There are plenty of other manufacturers out there that don't care about hackers/modders so much that they don't even have an official warranty stance--or even corporate awareness--of our community. HTC did before (and most certainly after) the bootloader fiasco.

It doesn't have to be like HTC is making it. I can't help but be suspicious. I won't happily slurp up what they feed when I know on a technical level any of their concerns are nearly moot points. Tethering? Yeah, I don't think Sprint is that concerned with people tethering....keep in mind how tiny of a community we are compared to the rest of the average users out there. Besides, I could saturate my 3G connection with tethering to my laptop OR by streaming pandora on high-quality 24-7.....one is allowed, the other isnt..the net difference to the network? not a god damned thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Yes Sprint cares. Don't be silly... You are paying to power your phone with Sprint data... Not yours and your friends and the neighbors laptop. Other companies don't care because they aren't providing a tool to unlock your phone for you... Their phones might be easily exploited but it's still an exploit.

Tell me one legitimate bad reason about letting them know you're rooted...
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I don't care about letting them know...I'm more curious about why they care.

So, in this theoretical world where me my friend and my neighbor are willing to tether off of my cellphone (which is painful for me to tether from myself on 3G...and Sprint does. not. care. about 4G data...but, still painful...and that's only valid if you want to tether 3 people outdoors).....so, the 3 of us are willing to tether from 3G from my phone....and....we are still pulling in data no faster than my phone can pull in playing pandora or any random shoutcast station....what the hell is the difference? I am paying for data. I am paying for bits...how is it their business what I do with those bits...especially when I can't possibly take many more bits with a few people tethered than I can just using a standard internet service (audio streaming)???

...and that's not even getting into criticism of Sprint's network speeds (wireless or backhaul)...

I don't know if you've ever had a reason to tether (I have, on business trips and I actually paid the premium to do so at the time)...but...it was no fncking picnic. It got the job done, for me, alone...and this was for business email and very very light (and patient) web surfing. There is no youtube going on there....unless you are cool with pausing to buffer for longer than the length of the video.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
You think Sprint speeds are slow now, imagine how they would be if half their customer base tried to tether a few laptops. Just because it's painful doesn't mean it's free.... Yea you can stream Pandora all day long on your phone and you pay for that... That's fine.

It would tax their network to death if people abused free wireless tether... Don't be nieve.

Yea you pay for bits but that's to your sprint device only...not random laptops and ipads. People abuse that crap to no end around here... Slow? Sure.. Not free. It's their network and unfortunately they make the rules on how we use it, it's in the contract you sign that nobody reads.

HTC wants to keep track to cover their own ass and I don't blame them. Nobody else is providing this... Yet they are. They know full well we are gonna be hacking future HTC software not meant for our phones too... But they still design and create a tool for us to do it
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Understood. However I think you might far overestimate the scope of our community...the scale of the amount of people who would know how to do this and would also do this. I know how yet I rarely (if ever) do...double the scale of our community and I still think it is an insignificant amount of people...barely over their daily network activity's standard deviation, if even that close....

...though I'm sure it would grow tremendously if left unchecked....for the most part....most people still couldn't be bothered to learn to navigate the menu to accomplish this but will happily pay the $30 to tap a widget.....

So far as anyone else providing this....HTC used to provide this, SE provides this, Samsung and LG just about provide this (unofficially..and officially don't care)....I'm convinced that this locking isn't about protecting from bricks...that could be easily engineered around....I am dubious about believing they are trying to keep this small minority of 'hacker types' from tethering the entirety of the internet at 10-100kBps to save the network and/or profits from this tiny minority....What about planned obsolescence? Who needs to upgrade if the phone keeps getting better for 3 years? I think that's a theory worth investigating. I have friends with Hero's who see no reason to upgrade...and frankly if not for my techno-elitism I would agree 100%....what about reducing support costs? No official update means no official support costs beyond "sorry that device is no longer supported <click>"....

btw, I'm not trying to 'fight' you so much as bounce ideas back and forth...so, please don't take this adversarially. In fact I'm rather enjoying bouncing ideas off of someone who is also thinking....my life is devoid of such conversation.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I agree that they wanna make money by selling all the newest and greatest phones... Tether isn't the only reason but it's on the list. Along with your phone possibly being more vulnerable to malware.. Although that isn't a big deal right now.

Also, if they failed at making a phone 100% unlockable then why do people think they will succeed in making it 100% brick proof? Not all their reasoning behind it is honest I'm sure, but, it's fair. They are taking a big risk being the first to openly provide a means to unlock... Maybe in the future it won't be a big deal but, no way of knowing early on.

All I'm saying is there are plenty of legitimate reasons as to why they wanna know... Some reasons we may never know about. There just aren't any legitimate reasons as to why telling them is a bad thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gibsonusa:
It was almost impossible to hard brick my vibrant (never messed with the bootloader, that was the surefire way to bork your vib.) Wish we had a tool like odin to fix the soft bricks. Love samsungs phone unbrickness (cant think of the word im looking for) but damn do they frigging lack any kind of update support. Its the reason i went with htc.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
That's the issue for me... They are not. What they are doing is collecting your info in trade for their Soff... which, I bet you a buck, will be shared with Sprint and Assuron insurance... Get a phone that over heats? Have Soff? Oh, he must have been OC'd... Warranty void.

Sounds eerily similar to the AlphaRev method. Did nobody else question why they needed our serial numbers? Give us your serial number, and get a beta key. Would it be possible that HTC has this list?

[HTC EVO 3D] str8upx:
The over simplified explanation of how HTC is going to unlock the bootloaders does sound somewhat like the Alpharev (properly named revolutionary) method. However the two methods are completely different and its a bit paranoid to think these well established devs would **** the community over like that. The reason the revolutionary s-off tool required your serial number was very clearly defined and imo an intelligent solution to a rather complex problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
Quoting so you can't edit. You, new person, are insulting the Dev community with your insinuation. Greatly.

What if ArX and Un discovered the method that HTC hoped to use themselves? Just a thought.
[HTC EVO 3D] str8upx:
Take a look around.. ITS WHAT WE DO HERE!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramiss:
Hey I've got a novel idea.... Why doesn't Sprint charge us for what the data is actually worth and use that money to keep the network fast....wow...logic!

Then they can give us already rooted phones which would avoid the bricks.

But instead of a sustainable business plan they want to advertise unlimited data and complain when we actually use it.

Newsflash! bandwidth cost money and "unlimited" plans are a scam...period!

Sprint got themselves into this mess with a marketing ploy by calling our bluff on unlimited data. Frankly I dont feel sorry for them.
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
Couple questions comments

1. Will this method of unlocking the bootloader really stop people from returning their bricked devices. For instance if I brick my phone and then take it to sprint and tell them that I downloaded a game and it started lagging then suddenly turned off and i haven't been able to get it started again. What will Sprint do? Do they have a master list of all serial numbers to match up my phone and whether it was rooted or not? I don't understand how HTC will police something that they generally don't have to mess with.

2. Is this method of unlocking phones really going to cut down on bricked devices? Most bricked phones that I have heard of, happened after the device was unlocked. Usually the user tries to flash something they shouldn't. Like with the Hero flashing a GSM ROM was pretty much the only way it could be done. I understand that the first few people who are trying to find the exploit might do something that bricks it but once that is established the rooting is pretty easy.

I could be missing something on both points so please enlighten me if I have missed something.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andy0682:
Are you trying to imply that HTC got into bed with AlphaRev and gave them the method in exchange for the serial numbers of the phones that used the method and then in turn got Rev all the credit for the discovery????

P.S

NO
[HTC EVO 3D] bryangene:
OPEN UP YOUR MIND BRO! Why else would they include their full names in the credits. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Ophois:
So instead of shipping all new phones like they said with unlocked bootloaders, instead they are keeping them locked and voiding our warranties?

Guess I'm sticking to my original evo. Ain't going to Motorola or Samsung.
[HTC EVO 3D] stryke504:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless you brick your phone and call HTC to fix it, say you blow a speaker or the screen gets cracked. Just revert back to stock with S-ON and they would never know.

Now that someone has brought it up and you think about it, asking for our serial numbers are a bit weird. Not that I would believe they would screw over the Dev community but it's something to think about..
[HTC EVO 3D] goodelyfe:
yea wonder why they needed it?
[HTC EVO 3D] canteenboy:
Unlocking the bootloader has always voided your warranty. Why is this such a shock? Nexus One gave a disclaimer about voiding the warranty when unlocking. Who made the Nexus One? HTC did. All these people *****ing and moaning about phones shipping with S-Off need to shut up. Retail phones ship with locked bootloaders. All this non sense about HTC using Revolutionary's method is stupid too. They made the damn phones and have the keys to unlock them. Just be glad they are giving people the option.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
HTC announcement is a big "whatever" for me. I wouldn't get all caught up in the legalese of it. HTC wants to provide unlocked bootloaders and they've found a way to do it while satisfying their agreements with other entities. They know as well as we do that as soon as that goes live on ANY server ANYWHERE, it's going to get hacked, packed, and racked right here and in many other forums where anyone can get it without filling out one bit of information! They're just covering their arses. And as for Alpharev and the serial numbers, I wondered what that was all about, but the way it's done, you can't prove jack by it! Even IF it sent information somewhere (which it doesn't: people with ZoneAlarm will tell you it isn't sending the information out)... but even if it did, you can't prove squat. You could have filled out that form, gotten a serial, and then what? What does that prove? You could do that without even downloading the file: that doesn't prove you actually installed it!
